    OK: where I’m starting:

    BE2 (old) Ethernet unplugged (for ‘safety’)

    BE3 (one we’re working on) plugged into the network.

    BE3 has been powered off overnight


    Step 1: rm //home/barry//.mythtv/config.xml

    Step 2: ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml

    Did some testing (I’m trying to learn as I go!) and the link is
    there and works ==> ls lists in light blue, which IIRC means ‘link’
    (I had a chart of the colours some place!).

    At this point config.xml is stating <Host>localhost</Host> and the
    rest looks to be correct also.

    And any changes to the configuration should be made to
    /etc/mythtv/config.xml, and they’re be ‘sent’ to the ones in the
    hidden directories:

    [Master] /etc/mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as white)

    [Link] /home/barry/.mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as light blue)

    [Link] /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml (ls displays as light blue)


    Thanks!

    Barry
